But if your makeup is just thrown about, unorganized, how you can possibly appreciate everything you’ve worked towards?! The key to being a real makeup fanatic is keeping all that beautiful makeup organized – preferably in a creative, DIY way! Looking to get inspired? Check out these 12 brilliant ways to organize your glorious makeup collection.

These candle jars can be purchased at the Dollar Store or you can re-purpose the candle jars you have hanging around your house! Hot glue them together in whatever shape you’d like (think a pyramid or an octagon!) and store your makeup in the clear storage containers.

If you’re not the commitment type, a rolling makeup station might be for you. You can buy these carts new or at an antique store, you can even paint it a fun color or stencil on your favorite quote just to give your makeup a bit more pizzazz.

This DIY has endless possibilities. These are Dollar Store wooden bowls cut in half and drilled into (or hot glued onto) painted wooden boards. The whole project can be done for a few bucks and can be as long or as short as you’d like.

If you have some vintage dishware that you can’t use (or don’t want to use) for their given purpose, hot glue a few pieces together to create an awesome stacking affect. More room to store more makeup. Amen.

This DIY might take a little more time than others, but you have so much creativity here! Once the magnetic board is built, cover it with any fabric or pattern you’d like. Once you hot glue strips of magnets to each piece of makeup (which could be a process, depending on the size of your makeup collection) you can display each piece on your fashionable backdrop.

This looks like something you might buy from a store, but it’s actually an upcycled DIY project! If you have boxes from designer stores like Kate Spade, save those lovely boxes and bags to create these DIY makeup drawers. Lovely and feminine!
